Acquisition
Initial stage of pairing when 1 links a NS and an US so that the NS comes to trigger a CR
Higher-order conditioning
Linking a new CS to a new NS, creating a 2nd(often weaker) conditioned stimulus
Extinction
The diminishing or elimination of a CR when the US does not follow the CS any longer
Spontaneous Recovery
After a pause, the reemergence of an extinguished CR
Generalization
The tendency that once a response has been conditioned, similar stimuli will also elicit similar responses
Discrimination
The learned ability to distinguish between a CS & stimuli that are different& thus do not signal an US
Operant Conditioning
A behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punishment
